How one CEO has decided to handle layoffs...
Fellow Business Executives:
As the CEO of a business that employees 40 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that if Barrack Obama becomes our next President, then our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way.
To compensate for these increases, I figure that the Client will have to see an increase in our fees to them of about 8% but since we cannot increase our fees right now due to the state of our economy, we will have to lay off six of our employees instead. This has really been eating at me for a while, as we believe we are family here and I didn’t know how to choose who would have to go.
So, this is what I did. I strolled through our parking lot and found 8 Obama bumper stickers on our employees’ cars and have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off. I can’t think of a more fair way to approach this problem.
If you have a better idea, let me know.

That's Priceless, my Scottish friend. If we do have an Obamarx win, I think we'll all be entitled to a little comeuppance!!
